Temps in the mid 40's to start and 59 at end, sunny and strong northerly wind.

A long hike today along the park's major south and central trails.  The park has some areas burned from a controlled burn a month ago so lots of trash was uncovered which I picked up.  Still more out there so if you see trash, please pick it up!

Not much wildlife except for the beginning of the hike when I flushed about a dozen white tails out including three bucks that were 6 and 8 points looks like they'll get the chance to grow a bit larger this year!

All in all an uneventful hike but nonetheless, an enjoyable one.
